“A great instructor and guide
for the course. All topics were well driven and to the point with no gibberish
language used to make it difficult for the learners just like other
instructors. A highly recommended course for every beginner who aims to become
a data analyst”

“This is one of the best course I took on Udemy so far. The instructors
explained everything in detail and there are practices after each section. Make
sure you download all the files, practice on your own, and you will learn a
lot. Highly recommend!”
Every business generates data. But whether you’re able to turn that into useful insights depends on your ability to process, manipulate, and ultimately translate that data.
Whether you’re working for a company or running your own, being
able to make better decisions requires you to be able to analyze and interpret
data.
What data do you need? How do you prep that data? How do you analyze it to
answer specific questions?
In this course, we’re going to show you step-by-step, exactly
how to do that, by starting with the very basics.
Why Microsoft Excel?
This course is as much about Excel, if not more, than data analysis concepts
and techniques. Why?
Excel is still the most popular tool used by analysts in all industries, across
all roles. It’s used by financial analysts, marketing analysts,
sales analysts, and of course, data analysts.
Yes, there are many tools out there but if you learn and master the core
concepts and techniques of data analysis in Excel, you’ll be able to apply your
knowledge to a broad range of applications.
Don’t underestimate Excel–a single worksheet can
technically hold more than 17 BILLION data points (granted, it will make
your computer REALLY slow). Fortunately, most of us running analysis will
need to process far fewer data points than that. Still, it speaks to the power
of the program.

“This is one of the best course
I have ever taken and thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommended if you want to
brush up your existing Excel Skills and to learn how to build some complicated
formulae. The Pivot Table and Charts were something I always struggled with but
thanks to Symon and Travis’ explanations they are now so easy to use every day
at work, saving me tonnes of time! Many Thanks Symon and Travis for putting together
this great course you are my Excel heroes! The case studies on Cryptocurrency
and The Start Up Market are absolute gems! I can’t wait to get started with
your next course.”
Why learn from us?
By signing up with us, you will be learning from two instructors
with a combined 35 years of relevant experience across a wide range of analyst
roles.
Travis has been a digital marketer, investor, and entrepreneur
for 20 years. He’s led growth in Asia for Groupon and even helped build Excel
when he was as an engineer at Microsoft. He is a data analysis and data
visualization expert who pulls from his industry experience to teach some of
the advanced data analysis topics you’ll find in this course.
Symon has been interpreting and analyzing data for 15 years. He
has served as a financial analyst, marketing analyst, and even head of
marketing analytics across half a dozen industries. If you look at his
other courses on Udemy, you’ll see that he is an Excel and analysis ninja,
having taught nearly 100,000 students with over 6000 reviews.
Together, we’ve pulled directly from our personal experience and
put everything we could into this course. In fact, all of the case studies
you’ll find inside are inspired by real-world projects we’ve worked on.
What if I don’t have any data analysis or Excel background?
No worries! This is why we start with the very basics in
our foundational sections, which is designed to get you familiar with Excel
before we move on to more advanced topics. You can be a complete beginner
and take this course. It might sometimes feel like you’re drinking
out of a fire hose, but if you put in the time and effort we promise you’ll see
results by following our course and doing the exercises.
We then progressively increase the difficulty as you move
along in the course, culminating in advanced techniques taught through our case
studies.
If you do have an Excel background, you can skip or skim through
the foundational sections and move directly into the more advanced topics.

foundations of excel this course is all you need.”

“I have a lot of experience
building excel models and purchased the course for the case studies. I didn’t
expect to learn much from the introductory parts but was surprised to find
additional keyboard shortcuts I had never learned as well as powerful new functions
that will make my life a lot easier. This course helped me brush up on
functionality that I often neglected while using excel and was super
comprehensive. I look forward to continuing using this course as additional
case studies are added and highly recommend it for even excel experts.”
Learn through practice.
Like most things in life, becoming proficient at data analysis
in Excel takes practice. A lot of practice.
Sure, you’ll pick up plenty just from watching, but you’ll be
doing yourself a disservice if you don’t download our more than 100
custom-built Excel practice files specifically designed to help you master
the program.
We’re not done adding all our content yet, either. This
class was initially created an “intro” course, but it will soon become a
complete coverage of all things data analysis in Excel.
